Campus assignments coming out today right?

 

[reactionarydisservic]

if campus assignments come out today or sometime soon, if we are accepted after they are released will we be accepted for a specific campus only or will it be a lottery again later?

 

[SoftPotatoKing]

They made it seem like multiple lotteries

does drexel like/take LOI? and, if so, can i send them anytime after i interviewed or is it something i would only send if i get deferred/waitlisted?

 

[500_GMR]

+1 IS Acceptance, interviewed 9/25/24, LM 71 (funny my acceptance came exactly 6 months post interview!)

 

[cu3000]

I was accepted after being deferred, did not send any updates/LOI

Congrats!! May I ask when you got deferred?

 

[Future.Dr21]

Does anybody know if after you are accepted, if the required decision within 21 days is just to hold your seat or if it is a binding decision?

It's just to hold your seat. A binding decision isn't required for any MD school until April 30th (even then it's not actually binding, you just have to narrow it down to one. But you can withdraw after that if you get in from a different school's waitlist)

On April 30th, I only need to decide "Plan to Enroll" to one school instead of "Commit to Enroll" to one school, right?

Sorry, yes. Each school determines their own "Commit to Enroll" deadline which is usually sometime in June or July.

Is drexel's deposit refundable?

Does anyone have the email to send thank you letters post II? I remember them mentioning an email but lost the tab where I had written it down. Also do we just like write both thank you letters (faculty + student) on a pdf and attach it to the email?

Just the gneral admissions email iirc, and it's up to you for how many letters you write but I would recommend separating them to 2 pdfs.

 

[Icehound233]

I don't understand how they're so disorganized! I get that they receive many applications, but have to set up a better system.

FWIW their response time for incoming students are pretty fast and reliable, seems just the admission email that's on the slower side.

You could also just upload them to your applicant portal

 

[Flipase]

hold just now????

 

[Kirbythe2nd]

hold just now????

Same! This is probably just a rejection right?

 

[yeet dawg]

hold just now????

+1

 

[The OTC]

Pre-II hold lmaoo the disrespect

 

[iloveharvard]

Pre-II hold lmaoo the disrespect

Strongly Agree! Still ghosted me, even more disrespect

 

[toxvermont]

Bruh I’d rather get hit w a pre-II hold atp than not hearing anything?? Like come on man it’s about to be April

 

[Amoma]

So messed up. What are they "holding" us all for anyway, ransom? No way are there more interviews ahead.

 

[luckychapter]

still nothing since Sept, not even a pre-II hold............

 

[Citygirl44]

still nothing since Sept, not even a pre-II hold............

Ridiculous. Last year I didn’t see any interviews invites in April. It’s over. So I’m not sure why they do this

 

[mochilover12]

if i wanted to send a letter of intent to the school, would uploading it in my portal be enough, or should i also email the office?

 

[deleted1193133]

Is a deferral the same thing as a waitlist here? I interviewed and they deferred me. Wondering exactly how that works.

Essentially yes, the official WL will be formed later and all deferred applicants will be placed on it (if we do not receive an A before then).

+1 post-II deferral email OOS, interviewed 1/29

 

[mdhereicome25]

Has anyone from 2/3 interview date heard anything?

 

[deleted1193133]

Twins LOL

 

[orgoforever]

what does it mean if we interviewed that date and didnt hear anything back?

Twins LOL

Doesn't mean anything, Drexel does not review in order.

Yeah I don’t really understand how they do it. But waiting 9 weeks just for a deferral this late in the cycle was really disappointing :/

We all been there

 

[zhezhanzhe]

Anyone who interviewed Feb 7 hear back yet?

What are everyone's thoughts on the West Reading campus? From my interview, it sounded like the two campuses would be better placed in terms of convenience of rotations being done at Tower Health's Reading Hospital. This year was the first graduating class from Reading and apparently they did pretty well for themselves (reported in my interview session).

Reading is a fine campus and the biggest benefit is having Tower Health right there. You wouldn't need to go through the lottery process that Philly students have to go through to get your site (I don't think Reading students can do the lottery, if that is something you did want to do, ie if you wanted to rotate at Kaiser). I'm a Philly student, but from what I've heard from friends over there, they like the school itself (you also have access to all the same professors over at Philly via Zoom), but have a bit of trouble finding things to do over there in Reading itself. Maybe someone at the Reading campus can pitch in!
